Double Tap really drives it home.

Also I love how some of them are “quick scribbles in Paint” while others are much more detailed and polished

Too bad, that the normal price for that is now a 4-digit sum and will the cost you still $500+…

One important tip from that community to be more successful:

Do not use the “original” link, but link a YouTube short. Why?

1. It’s not the known link (“XcQ”)
2. Shorts do autoplay
3. Shorts are ad free
4. Shorts are optimized for mobile and usually start playing quickly

Where as the original link will probably just dump you to 1-3 pre roll ads and the rickroll is only seeing the title and closing the tab/app…

!rickrolltactics@lemmy.world will be having a field day, when that happens.

There’s an app that I find useful. Many many years ago (on Android 2.3 or maybe Android 4?) I got a lifetime license for it.

Then a few years ago they updated the app and introduced a subscription. I don’t care, because the features that I use are still accessible in the grandfathered lifetime license. BUT after every update without a subscription you now need to complete the whole “let’s personalize this app for you” thing. Afterwards it just dumps you onto a screen to select the subscription you want to pay for. You need to dismiss that screen in order to use the free features OR login and restore your old license to unlock most of the features.

They intentionally put a white X to dismiss that screen in the top left, but also put a very bright image there directly under it, so that it’s barely recognizable.

Also I want it to be rechargeable with hay bales! …wait

The only somewhat valid use case for “driving 1.000km without a stop” would be several people in the car taking turns on the driver’s seat. While you’d technically need to stop to switch drivers this in itself is way quicker than even a quick charge on paper.

BUT: considering traffic jams, speed limits and such - a 1.000km trip would take around 10+ hours anyway. You’re not going to tell me that you do not even stop to pee or stretch a bit for 10+ hours, do you?

Heh, amateurs. You do not put such important orders in the prompt or other context that gets constantly compacted (and thus fuzzy). Fix your LLM client.
(Or… Maybe, I don’t know, put some guard rails in cold hard traditional non-vobe-code to begin with?)

How else will he eventually stop a war, then? You think he’d be able to stop wars he isn’t even involved in, if he can’t even stop starting them himself?

Agreed. The US can access/subpoena any data it wants from US companies, even if the servers they host the data on are in Europe or Asia or…

It doesn’t matter where the servers and the data is located. It matters who posses (or controls the access) to it.

Fun fact: Did you know that the dose of 400mg is the ceiling if your goal is to lower pain and higher doses only affect other effects (e.g. being anti-inflammatory) of ibuprofen (and it’s unwanted side effects, too)?

Yeah, but if I understand that correctly, that’s just for the app itself the LLM is very likely still a proprietary one (ChatGPT, Grok,…)

non-commitment like “I can’t do that” or “that’s against policy” or “that’s not my dept”

Ok, I’m not a native English speaker but… I have the feeling that they don’t know what non-commitment means. Unless it’s commitment to fuck the customer, but then, why bother to offer a call center?

Time for a classic: The Case of the 500-Mile Email

Edit: The site seems to be overloaded, but it’s also on Archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20260220060645/https://www.ibiblio.org/harris/500milemail.html

Other than Friendica, Mastodon, Matrix, PeerTube and PieFed, what’s worth running

Maybe Nextcloud (not only for storage, but also calendar, video conferences, office, when combined with Collabora,…)? Also Immich (basically Google Photos) comes to mind. Your own instance of SearXNG.

Any kind of ToDo-list, Kanban board, …?

A ticketing system?

A Wiki to host your documentation? Note, that you may want to access it if the server fails, so…

Some stack of components around Grafana or such to visualize some data? Since you mentioned Hetzner, I’m guessing you’re from Germany. You could build a small container, ingest the gas prices that the gas station are required to publish and build a dashboard for the gas prices in your area? (Hint, here’s an API licensed under Creative Commons - https://creativecommons.tankerkoenig.de/ )

Delays - if you use the internet and request an answer from an LLM, you won’t notice if it’s 300-500ms slower than usual. But if you deploy and run a software stack, a delay of 5ms betweenntze app and the database can make the difference between a usable application and an inperfomant one.

See, when mommy fire and daddy fire are left alone long enough and it warm and cozy…
